“ Mysterious and magical, this is fabulous tale is at once universal and uniquely American, about how we cope with the ghosts, those literal and imagined, from the counties we left behind. A delightful and haunting read. ”

“ I've read many plays about the immigrant experience but never one from a perspective like this. The way Huang tells this story through memories and ghosts is so compelling. Produce this play!!! ”

“ Huang crafts a fascinating look at an American family, the costs of leaving a life behind and starting a new one, and the ghosts (literal and metaphorical) that haunt the choices we make. ”

“ A compelling exploration of the dark side of Chinese immigration. Layered conversations mix memory and present, Chinese mythology, ghosts and the living. Challenging impressionistic sets, props and soundscapes would give designers rich material to grapple with. And it all revolves around delicious Chinese cooking - the script would make a beautiful production. ”
